La Petite Maison

Store Direction

Random thoughts: I've thought a lot about what I want the store to be: do I want people to see us as Rustic? Farmhouse? Fixer Upperish?

I'm drawn to it- all the time - and I bought a lot of it at market. But I also bought a lot of other things too- stuff I'm drawn to. I've ALWAYS been a fan of European/French style. And that's what I've always gravitated to, in my personal-style.

I'm going to try and mix all that in and bring some farmhouse/eclectic stuff in too. I was at dinner with friends tonight and she described the store as "pretty". Pretty style, pretty things. And I really like that.

I think it describes my style and makes us stand a little apart from other shops. I've always thought that's what I wanted to be, but you get tied up in what other things are out there and trying to be something that you think is "what is hot". I like timeless and trendy, but- yes, "pretty".

So, there is a peace that comes with deciding your "new baby's" fate, and it makes me happy. I want people to see us as a pretty store for pretty things- from furniture to accessories to decor. So those are my thoughts, like them or not 😂😂 I had a Deep Thoughts moment and wanted to share.

It's here! Our new paint line is here!

**It's here! It's here!** drum roll..... We now have a paint line! After MUCH MUCH trial, error, playing, painting, and more- I have decided to carry Heirloom Traditions at the store out of the ten brands I tried. Why?

The paint is fabulous. Hands down. I love it. It's goes on smooth, super easy to use, covers great, requires no sanding or priming. It dries fast, distressed easily and the colors are honestly swoon-worthy. And it's all natural and has no VOCs or fumes. You can paint nursery furniture with ease- and indoors! And it's made right here in the USA- in Kentucky! (But the owner Paula is a Vols fan, so we are kindred spirits)

The topcoats are as fun as the paint itself. 6 different wax shades! And they have a SPRAY WAX. OMG. Love. And a clear coat if waxing isn't your thing. And a fabric medium where you can paint any fabric of any kind. Redo that upholstered chair!

Finally - the price points are very, very good for paints of this caliber. Much less that its competitors. Samples are $6, Pints are $20 and Quarts are $30

I am so so excited about this line, and hope you will be too!

Before/After - French Provencial Desk

This one was an absolute steal that I cam across on Craigslist one day while perusing. There is a good chance you will see me on Craigslist most days. Common terms I search for are: Dresser, Ornate, French, Upholstered. This one popped up under the "French category".

I sold this one up on my facebook page - and posted the "before" picture, and the price it would be painted, and it got snapped up quick. I then let the client look on Pinterest for some inspiration color.

She was in poor shape. There was lots of chipping going on, wobbly legs, and some water damage.

She decided on Annie Sloan Old Violet, with a Graphite top. The desk (or vanity) was then distressed very lightly, then covered in clear wax then dark wax. I think she turned out beautiful!!

Before/After - Antique Chest of Drawers

This one was a fun little project. I wanted to try my hand at two-toned.

Annie Sloan's paints blend beautifully. I think that's part of the reason why I tend to use it so much more than others. And, I also think that when I blend up paints in my little Tupperware, I feel more "artsy-fartsy".

Before/After:

This one was taken with my phone in my garage/work space. Apologies for the fuzziness!

So, I wish I could tell ya what the outside of this pretty chest was, but alas - I haven't got a clue. It's a little French Linen, a little Chateau Grey, and a little Coco I think?? It tuned into a fun darker taupe/olive. The drawers were painted in Old White, then everything got a clear and dark wax. The drawers were painted in Duck Egg Blue. I kept the original hardware, but just spray painted them a dark bronze.

I think it turned out fabulously! While I adore doing client's pieces, for obvious reasons, it's fun to pick up pieces off Craigslist to play around with different looks and techniques.

Before/After - French Side Table

This was a super fun little project, and actually much easier than I thought. I really have come to love stenciled furniture, and since I'm pretty crafty anyway, had a stencil burner I bought off ebay!

So, I got to work. This is the before:

Not too boring, but just ugly and plain

Two coats of blue chalk paint, light distressing, and clear wax later:

Viola!

You might be asking - how does one make a stencil? Well, super easy. Find a graphic you like and print it out in Microsoft Word. Then, go grab you a few cheap plastic report covers from Office Max. Place report covers over the printed graphic, then take your handy dandy stencil burner and create your stencil! So, much cheaper than buying a new one every time, and super easy to make your own custom ones too.
